Hi Pen-Test's:

# I thought Cheops would do this, but it doesn't do as well as I thought.
# I want to find out what computers are connected to which switches.  I
# don't care if it tells me what type of switch it is, but accurately tell
# me what IP addresses are hanging off it.  Is there a mapping software
# out there that will discover this stuff?

In particular scenarios CDPR (Cisco Discovery Protocol Reporter) can help 
you... 

> From SecurityFocus UNIX Tools Archive:
"cdpr (Cisco Discovery Protocol Reporter) shows the switch and port that 
a machine is connected to, provided that the device supports CDP. It can 
also optionally decode the full CDP packet. cdpr was written to help 
network/system administrators find out about the equipment that a machine 
is connected to. This is done by capturing and decoding a Cisco Discovery 
Protocol (CDP) packet."
